Turning Science into Things People Need
Real Stories from the Real World
My book "Turning Science into Things People Need" explores the journeys of 10 scientists who left the research lab to pursue careers in industry.
Driven by a desire to see their work give tangible results in months rather than decades, these people have all built exciting careers in a wide variety of roles.
Five of these scientists are successful entrepreneurs, starting their own successful companies!

“I think your book is a good idea. People talk about the transition from science to engineering or going from academia to industry, but no one has actually put together any research on the topic”
